<p>I am working on a bilayer tin system and has performed geometry relaxation using Quantum Espresso 5.4.0 of the structure via:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>1. One relax calculation - for coordinate relaxation </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>2. One vc-relax calculation with cell_do_free as 2Dxy - for coordinate and cell shape relaxation</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">3. Two vc-relax calculation with cell_do_free as shape - </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">for coordinate and cell shape relaxation with constant volume.</span><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>these calculations were performed with, <span style="font-size: 12pt;">ecutwfc = 60 Ry and K-point mesh as 10 10 1, 1 1 1.</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Further, phonon calculations were performed using the phononpy 1.11.0 package with the same parameters. The </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>structure <span style="font-size: 12pt;">seem to gotten relaxed but it still has some negative frequencies near the Gamma point, are these's negative </span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>frequencies numerical instabilities or the structure is unstable.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am attaching the phonon dispersion file. Please advice.</p>
<p><br>
